- TriviaThis episode appears to be based on two separate child killing cases (both taking place in England):
- The 1968 Mary Bell/Norma Bell case. In 1968, 13-year-old Norma Bell and her 11-year-old friend Mary Bell were arrested for the deaths of two young boys, Martin Brown and Brian Howe, in Newcastle, England. While Mary was found to have strangled both victims, Norma was tried as an accomplice. She was acquitted of murder but found guilty of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. The case gained widespread attention due to the young age of the girls and the disturbing nature of the crimes.
- The 1993 James Bulger murder case. In 1993, two 10-year-old boys, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, abducted 2-year-old James Bulger from a shopping mall in Bootle, England. They led him on a long walk, tortured him, and murdered him on a railway line in a crime that shocked the nation. Both boys were found guilty and became the youngest convicted murderers in modern British history. They were later released with new identities in 2001.

- Quotes
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Jenny's been emotionally abused. Maybe physically. She lashes off when her anger reaches the boiling point.
- A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael: So we lock this girl up?
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Get used to it. More and more girls committing violent crimes. I don't see anything for Jenny except a future of escalating anti-social behavior.
- Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy: What makes you say that?
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Emotional abuse, the snuffed cat, the blacked-out photographs. Her lack of response when I went after her.
- Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy: Her fantasies about hurting little boys.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Yeah, previews of coming attractions. She's graduated to murder. She's not gonna stop.
- A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael: You sound pretty sure.
- Dr. Emil Skoda: Kid's a done deal. She's a textbook serial killer. We just got her early.
